Efficient DSMC Modeling Techniques for Micro/Nano Gas Flows

Masters N., Ye W., Georgia Institute of Technology, US

An efficient DSMC technique for modeling of low-speed gas flows has been developed. THis technique greatly reduces the inherent DSMC noise and thus is suitable for modeling micro/nano gas flows whose typical velocities are below [...]

Modeling of a Self-Retracting Fully-Compliant Bistable Micromechanism

Masters N., Howell L.L., Georgia Institute of Technology, US

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how a combination of models facilitated the development of a new class of small displacement fully-compliant bistable micromechanisms (Self-Retracting Fully-compliant Bistable Micromechanism, or SRFBM). Two different Pseudo-Rigid-Body [...]
